It's my own pattern, the one I created a thread about when I first joined (I asked about increases and what I could do). Well, I figured I'd create a thread to show what I have done so far, and after running out of yarn for the second leg warmer, I worked on my unborn nephew's baby hat (it fits my head, so if my sister doesn't like it, then I'll keep it for myself [kidding]) until I bought more yarn.

Anyway, here it is, not blocked, not put together yet. I want to do both at the same time, so I've put it off until I finish the other leg.

Leg one:

Leg two, 37 rows in:

For the increases, I did yox2 (there's four yox2 in the whole thing), then did a double increase on the 39th row and up (until the 103rd row). This vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1qYe81lAT8) by knitpurlhunter shows the kind of increase I did. It worked out well, and I was able to keep my ribbing. :) I'm very happy with the results. And when I pinned it to see what it would look like on me, the center kind of looked like twigs.

Once I block and sew everything together, I'll post the finished results.

And of course, the pictures will be better. I just have the crappiest light for my room.

(There's also two decreases in there, but I forgot how I did them....It's two of the decreases this website shows; I'm sure I'll figure it out for the second one when I get there.)

It looks like you've really figured out the increases that you needed. Good for you. Leg warmers are really working out well.

Thanks, everyone. :) I'm almost done. Well, sort of. I somehow dropped a stitch twice and now figuring out how to pick it up again so I can move right along!

I may possibly have them done later today. :)

ETA: The dropped stitch has been fixed! My face of horror is now a face of smiles. Now, onward march!

I like it! Will look forward to you showing us both of them, on your legs (or a model if you can get someone to model for you).

I'll have them done soon and post pics. I got a little distracted. I wanted to finish them last weekend, however, I got a call that I was hired at a place I put an application in, so I've been a bit busy working on that, plus working on writing. :) I'll have it done I hope this weekend. I really want to get them finished, especially since my sister's wedding is right around the corner and I want to wear them on that day before her wedding starts/have them when it gets cooler out.
